K270J15C0GF53L2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K270J15C0GF53L2 is a 27 pF ±5% 50V ceramic capacitor with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. This radial through-hole component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently active in production. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications and compatible mechanical parameters to ensure functional interchangeability in circuit designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K270J15C0GF53L2 is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Capacitance value: 27 pF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
Voltage rating: 50V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
Temperature coefficient: C0G or NP0 (functionally equivalent designations)
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (minimum requirement)
Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package type: Radial (exact match required)
RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory compatibility)

Mechanical parameters including lead spacing, body dimensions, and height may vary within acceptable limits for PCB layout compatibility. Packaging format (Bulk or Cut Tape) does not affect electrical interchangeability but impacts procurement and handling.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts meet the mandatory electrical and compliance requirements for direct substitution with the K270J15C0GF53L2. Selection should prioritize parts with Active product status for new designs:

K270J15C0GF5TL2 (Vishay) and RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B, RDE5C1H270J0P1H03B, and RDE5C1H270J0S1H03A (Murata) are recommended for new designs due to their Active status and full ROHS3 compliance.

FK18C0G1H270JN020 and FK28C0G1H270JN000 (TDK) are electrically equivalent but marked as Not For New Designs. These parts are suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where the original part number must be maintained.

Mechanical variations in lead spacing (2.50mm versus 5.00mm) and body dimensions require PCB layout verification to ensure proper fit within existing footprints. Packaging format differences (Bulk versus Cut Tape) do not affect electrical performance but may impact procurement logistics and component handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use RDE5C1H270J0K1H03B as a direct replacement for K270J15C0GF53L2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 27 pF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 50V rating, C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Both are ROHS3 compliant and through-hole radial packages. Verify lead spacing compatibility with your PCB layout, as the RDE part has 5.00mm lead spacing compared to the original 2.50mm spacing.

Q: What is the difference between C0G and NP0 temperature coefficients?

A: C0G and NP0 are functionally equivalent designations for the same temperature coefficient characteristic. C0G is the EIA standard designation, while NP0 is the IEC standard designation. Both indicate zero temperature coefficient performance across the operating range.

Q: Why are some substitute parts marked as Not For New Designs?

A: Parts marked as Not For New Designs (FK18C0G1H270JN020 and FK28C0G1H270JN000) are legacy components that manufacturers are phasing out. While electrically equivalent and suitable for replacement in existing systems, they should not be selected for new product development. Active-status alternatives provide better long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Does packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only procurement, storage, and handling procedures. Bulk and Cut Tape versions of the same part number are electrically identical. Selection depends on manufacturing assembly requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there mechanical constraints when substituting parts with different lead spacing?

A: Yes. Lead spacing differences (2.50mm versus 5.00mm) require PCB footprint verification. Substituting a part with different lead spacing may require PCB redesign or manual lead bending, which is not recommended for production environments. Confirm mechanical compatibility before component selection.
